You all are so wonderful.
I helped Fred to go meet Jesus today… the vet did an autopsy right after, and he said he had full blown stomach cancer that had spread to the pancreas and liver. So all that I had done was all I could do.I had been writing about some of the trials and meds on the "Basenji Puppy Matters" "Basenji Puppy Feeding" "Should I be concerned?" post. We have been dealing with it since July/August.
I was his mom for 10 months, a BRAT rescue, and he will be missed.
BTW - I did take Ginger, who is always high strung at the vet's office, even after a long walk beforehand. She was pacing the whole time, until the time, and she hung around for a little while, and stopped whining. Then she wanted to leave, and she never looked back, like she usually does, when he is in there getting tested. She didn't let out a peep in the car on the way home, came in, looked around once, and is now sleeping on the couch.

My heart goes out to you just know Fred is resting not hurting anymore. Fred will always and forever love you that 10 months I bet was the best of his life. Thank you for caring and loving Fred.

I'm sorry for your loss. I believe like others here, that having Ginger with you and your dear Fred was best. May your happy memories help you through this time of sorrow. Prayers to you.

Sorry for your loss… and in January when I lost OJ and Mickii within 1 week, that left Kristii as an only dog... considering she was born at our home, she had never ever been withount another Basenji in the house... She too has never looked back... and has quite enjoyed being the center of attention... and honestly that blew our minds.... but we are grateful

I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs are very "forward looking" most of the time, hopefully ginger will settle in as the center of attention.

I'm so sorry for your loss and at the same time so thankful that you gave Fred a loving home even if it was for such a short time. Thanks for the follow up on taking Ginger with you. I'll be facing that decision myself. Hugs to you and Ginger.

That was very touching. How is Ginger doing now?

That was beautiful and heart warming to read about how you got Fred and Ginger.
I am so sorry for your loss, the only consolation to have is that your time with Fred was good and that he is finally dancing again…
How is Ginger taking him not being there? -
